Concentrated hygienizing detergent
Concentrated hygienizing detergent, especially formulated for cleaning and hygienizing surfaces, equipment and utensils that come into contact with food. It eliminates unpleasant odours due to its microorganisms.
IQ-C/4 is a concentrated sanitising detergent formulated for cleaning and degreasing of surfaces, equipment and utensils in food production facilities and professional kitchens. As a high-concentration degreaser detergent, it eliminates organic residues, fats and odours with proven effectiveness, delivering a bright, residue-free finish on treated surfaces. Its phosphate-free, EDTA-free and ammonia-free formula makes it a responsible choice for food industry industrial cleaning with high standards of safety and hygiene.
Description
IQ-C/4 is a concentrated professional-use sanitising detergent designed for deep cleaning of surfaces, equipment and utensils in environments with high sanitary requirements. Its degreasing formulation acts on animal and vegetable fats, protein residues and organic deposits, leaving surfaces clean, residue-free and with fast self-drying.

Benefits for professional use
- High concentration — enables multiple litres of ready-to-use solution from each litre of concentrate, reducing operational costs and packaging waste volume.
- Powerful degreasing effect — breaks down the structure of fats and proteins deposited on work surfaces, utensils and equipment, guaranteeing deep, residue-free surface cleaning.
- Deodorising action — neutralises odours generated by organic residues, a critical factor in kitchens and food production plants with high daily activity.
- Fast self-drying and non-abrasive — reduces waiting time after application, prevents moisture build-up and preserves the finishes of stainless steel, food-grade plastics and porous surfaces.
- With over-greasing agents and dermal protectors — suitable for frequent use without causing skin irritation to operators, even during intensive cleaning shifts.
- Ammonia-free, caustic soda-free, chlorine-free, phosphate-free, EDTA-free, NTA-free — reduces chemical aggressiveness on surfaces and materials, and improves workplace conditions for staff.
- Compatible with professional dilution systems — facilitates integration into documented cleaning programmes for HACCP and BRC audits.
Main applications
- Food industry: cleaning of production lines, work tables, conveyor belts, storage tanks and utensils in contact with food in plants and food facilities with hygiene regulatory requirements.
